Current Interest i'm Cancer.

The sudden public interest In cancer, says the
81. James' Gozette shows how true IL is that peo-
pie are blind even to the most obvious facts until
something happensto direct special attention to
them. Cancer is by no means an unfamiliar
disease, and during late years has been steadily
increasing In this country The deaths from can
Ger per 10000 persons living are now about So,
which Is higher rate than that OF the deaths
from dlphtherla Group drOpsy, water on the brain,
kidney disease and others, OF which more Is heard.
In view Of the increase which has recently
taken place Din 1S6l'65 the rate per 900 persons
living was 1863, IL is certainly desirable that
special inquiry should be made into the cause OF
this terrible malady, with view TO the prevention
of disease which, when established. is now in
durable. Some years ago there was published
somewhere a "cancer map" of Great Britain,
showing that the disease is practically absent from
high level districts, but very prevalent In low
lying and marshy regions The lesson derived from
IL was that persons conStitut1onally liable to can
Ger should, II possible, live in high and dry neigh

ceeded to speak in reference to the protest of the

ton OF Col. Thos. Whitehead as commissioner OF
agriculture, and at the conclusion OF his speech
Mr.. Waddell, republican, introduced a resolution
10 appoint committee OF ten to inquire into the
causes and circumstances OF the removal of Col

civil-seryfce administration, he should have been
removed. The resolution was declared out OF

Virginia State Grange, protesting against the
election or Col. whitehead Both Whitehead and
Harrison are democrats. One OF the causes 20
which COL Harrison's defeat has been charged IS
that he drew $50 Communication for the loss Of his

ris, OF Newark, was called from his house TO the
city hall 10 perform marriage ceremony The
groom was Samuel Well, gardener, OF 60 Bank
street. He is sixty years OF age, and has nve
grown-up children, with whom he lives. The
bride was Caroline Poppitz, sixty-one years old,
and resident OF Brooklyn. 1t would appear that
the contracting parties sorry for their act and
tnat the marriage was the outcome OF a Joke On
the night OF the marriage the aged couple, with
Mr.. Beck, were in wfne-roOm on Market street.
where they drank some wine. When Mrs. Pop
pitt, now Mrs. Well, was preparing to leave for
home, Mr. Beck Is said 70 have remarked: "Here
Is widow, aud there Is q widower You two
should make a match" A laugh was caused by
the remark, but the old people finally concluded
that IL would be a good thing TO do, and they i'm
mediate.y started out to look for q party who
could perform the ceremony.
The announcement OF the marriage caused great
surprise among the gr0oms children They say
he Is unable TO work and cannot earn any money

The Federation Of Labor.


THE AFTERNOON SESSION TAKEN UP WITH p1sCus-
SING THE CONSTITUTION.
The afternoon session Of the Federation of
Labor convention In Baltimore yesterday was con-
sumed by the consideration OF the report OF the
committee on constitution. An effort TO draw the
line between skilled and unskilled labor was
the Knights OF labor, and motion to strike out
the words Labor organizations" where 1t occurs
in the constitution, and use the term "trades
unions" exclusively, was voted down. A motion
TO compel all organizations to obtain Charters
from the federation one month before the meeting
OF the convention OccaslODed considerable debate
and warm opposition from representatives OF the
International typographical Union, who declared
that their old and influential organization would
under no crcumstances.come to the federation for
q charter, and 1t was amended to read Certificate
Of membership instead OF charter, and passed.
The question OF equitable representation was the
cause Of lengthy discussion. Some delegates held
entitled TO voice IN the affairs OF the federation
while Others were OF the opinion that central abor
unions and local trades assemblies were the main
stay Of the labor reform movement, and It was
sentatiOn according to their numerical strength
even though the same trades may re Indirectly
represented by delegates from their national body
The publication OF the Official organ was voted
against and the substitution OF quarterly circular
was agreed upon. The question OF increasing the
presidents salary from s., 900 to 81, 200 was dis
cusSed and the increase agreed upon A Discussion

BEASSURfN6 REPORT REGARDING THE CONDITION
OF THE CROWN PRINCE
Drs. Schrader, KrauSs, and Howell have 1ssned
bulletin concerning the condition of the crown
prince In which they say that during the last few
weeks the infiammatory symptoms in the larynx
have entirely disappeared. The surface tunor It
self appears to be partly cicatrzed and partly COW
cred with fiat growth, which have a tendency to
Increase. Dr. Mackenzie reached San Reno at
O'Clock last evening and Immediately visited the
crown prince. After examining the crown princes
throat DR.. Mackenzie declared that he found no
dangerous symptoms. The English Official court
circular says that the queen has received a re-
assuring report concerning the princes condition,
and that the newspaper kilograms about the prince
are inaccurate or exaggerated. The crown princess
and members OF her family took a walk yesterday,
but the crown prince stayed indoors, his condition
being unimproyed.
